Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Palmer Cox Brownie Primer: Arranged From Palmer Cox's Brownie Books It is a mistaken idea that children learn to read only through bare, spiritless statement of fact. At no other period is imagination so naively active, and to the imaginative faculty the Brownies appeal. The editors have arranged the text so as to repeat words constantly; they have likewise placed the subject matter in its proper season, beginning with the early Fall, when school opens. While definite lessons have been indicated on every page, it is to be hoped that the pictures in themselves will suggest to the teacher additional topics for talks and blackboard sentences, and at the same time furnish the interest and incentive to induce the child to learn to read the text. The Appendix contains directions for the use of the vocabulary and of those pages on which the play element is distinctly emphasized. To understand the characteristics of the Brownies is the essential requisite for the understanding of this little Primer. The genial, hearty, and helpful spirit with which the little men are supposed always to go through their tricks, is largely the cause of the success they have had. May they find equal favor in the school room, while the children are learning to read. Palmer Cox. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
